These are like Super Oatmeal Cookies These cookies are my daughter's favorites - both to make and, of course, eat! She began her addiction when she was just three, it shows no sign of letting up at the ripe old age of 7 1/2. Read more . When she would come to visit, it would be the first request, and there was no peace until that request was met! Now that I see her every day after school, fortunately the request has been replaced by other, not so dangerous endeavors. Enjoy these! Ingredients:
2 sticks (1/2 pound) unsalted butter, softened but still firm |
1 cup light brown sugar |
1 cup granulated sugar |
2 eggs |
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon baking powder |
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg |
3 cups rolled oats |
1 1/2 cups raisins (optional) |
Directions:
1. Adjust oven racks to low and middle positions; heat oven to 350 degrees. In bowl of electric mixer or by hand, beat butter until creamy. Add sugars; beat until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in eggs one at a time.
2. Mix flour, salt, baking powder, and nutmeg together, then stir them into butter-sugar mixture with wooden spoon or large rubber spatula. Stir in oats and optional raisins.
3. Form dough into sixteen to twenty 2-inch balls, placing each dough round onto one of two parchment paper–covered, large cookie sheets. Bake until cookie edges turn golden brown, 22 to 25 minutes. (Halfway during baking, turn cookie sheets from front to back and also switch them from top to bottom.) Slide cookies on parchment onto cooling rack. Let cool at least 30 minutes before serving.
